God
is good and kind and almighty, and serving him will carry, comfort and sustain
us. Are we ready to serve God, with our families, during this whole year of our
Lord, until the very last day? Will we keep remembering the message that in
Jesus, God came to be with us!
An
important question we must ask, is: What difference will our prayers make
during this year?
1.
The
first thing we need to remember, is that God is the one who works out
everything in conformity with the purpose of his will’ (Eph 1:11). The most
important thing is that I align myself with, is his will (Rom 12:2). I was
made by God for God, and I will find meaning and purpose in his will for me
during this year. (Col 1:16). We pray: “Your will be done on earth, as it
is in heaven….”
2. And the Bible also affirms that God is good. What God created he also
cares for (Ps 104). And he has a special care for those he has adopted in
Christ as his children. (Eph 1:4-5.) As a Father who loves his children, God
invites us to bring all our needs to him. And he promises to hear and
answer every one of our prayers (Matt 7:7-11). When you pray, say – “our Father
who is in heaven… “
3. At the beginning of this year it is important to be reminded is that nothing
is too difficult for God (Gen 18:4, Job 42:2). He can raise the dead, calm
the storm and bring universes into existence. God’s infinite power and his
infinite mind mean that he is not overwhelmed by numbers or confused by detail.
He can give full attention, care and protection to every person throughout the
world. "For thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory…"
Our
heavenly Father gives each one of us his undivided attention.
Therefore be blessed as you share your concerns for 2025 with God, in prayer.
Seek the Lord’s will for you this year through prayer. Believe that God is
good!
Know
that God can and will, in his mercy, listen to your prayers!
